December 31 year-end for each of the following depreciation methods.
1. Straight-line method.
2. Activity method.
3. Sum-of-the-years'-digits method.

b. Assume a fiscal year-end of September 30. Compute the annual depreciation charges
over the asset's life applying each of the following methods.
1. Straight-line method.
2. Sum-of-the-years'-digits method.
3. Double-declining-balance method.
ANSWER
a. 1. Straight-line Method : $ 90,000 - $ 6,000
= $ 16,800 a year
5 years
a. 3. Sum-of-the-years' digits:
5+4+3+2+1 = 15 $ 90,000 - $ 6,000 = $ 84,000
year 2017 5/15 x $ 84,000 = $ 28,000
year 2018 4/15 x $ 84,000 = $ 22,400
year 2019 3/15 x $ 84,000 = $ 16,800
year 2020 2/15 x $ 84,000 = $ 11,200
year 2021 1/15 x $ 84,000 = $ 5,600
b. 1. Straight-line Method:
year 2017 $ 16,800 x 9/12 = $ 12,600
year 2018 Full year = $ 16,800
year 2019 Full year = $ 16,800
year 2020 Full year = $ 16,800
year 2021 Full year = $ 16,800
year 2022 Full year x 3/12 = $ 4,200
Instructions
a. Prepare the journal entry (if any) to record the impairment at December 31, 2019

equipment and that it has not been disposed of as of December 31, 2020.
ANSWER
a. Carrying value of asset €10,000,000 - €2,500,000 = € 7,500,000
(€10,000,000/8) x 2 = € 2,500,000

Loss on impairment € 1,900,000
Accumulated Depreciation Equipment € 1,900,000
